So, I see you are curious about glycol beer line chillers and glycol power packs. In this video, Rapids beer expert Ben discusses the basics of long draw beer systems and glycol coolers with us.
A glycol power pack is a piece of refrigeration equipment that cools the glycol and circulates it through trunkline along with your beer lines to your remote beer tower keeping the beer cold all along the way.
Ben and Paul go over the basic components of the Glycol chiller systems, and what to look for when making a purchase to ensure you have a unit big enough to accommodate your long draw needs.
You will learn how a commercial glycol beer chiller system works. In the video, we open up the Beer Chiller and take a look under the hood. We will show you the compressor, the glycol tank and how the refrigerant works to chill the glycol, which in turn works to keep your beer or beverage cold as it makes the trip from the cooler to the faucet.
We also take a look at the pump for the glycol, where and how the trunk line with the beer and glycol exit the chiller and how the glycol returns back to the chiller to get cooled once more. You will also learn what to consider when determing your beer chiller size and Trunk Line Run size needs.This video about long draw beer chillers will help you decide and determine what to look for when purchasing a commercial Power Pack Beer Chiller System.

What you’re calling the evaporator is actually the condenser and condenser fan, the copper coil that is inside the glycol tank is the evaporator.

The guy did well, if you're not a pro then that's your mistake to learn from.

First thing I did when I seen them call the condenser a evap is look at the comments lol

"Evaporator fan" on a condenser and refrigerant directly from the compressor in the glycol. Gonna have some real warm beer.

what is the lowest possible cooling temperature for the return of the glycol?

Do you sell units that have both hot and cold loops? I wouldn’t be using it for beer chillin but a Mobile residential HVACR application

Could you clear something up for me please. Would a two line cooler. Chill two separate kegs?

I want to design this solution for my home however thinking about how much energy it will consumed compare to using many AC

Yeah man I think central heating and air equipment has that well established efficiency wise for sure communicating systems are awesome you just need to design the equipment under manufacture specs as best as possible...

About to install my 60 Ft. 1/3 HP 3 gal chiller I got from Rapids. Wouldn't it be better to tee off the glycol line in the walk-in and supply the 2 separate supply and return lines (for a 12 product trunk line) making a parallel system rather than connecting them in a chain and doubling your linear feet only to have the second run warmer than the first? The end result is probably the same resistance on the chiller pump but you're supplying the two lines with cold glycol rather than one cold and one somewhat cold. Please advise.

Hey Darryl, I'm picking Ben's big beer brain to see what the drawback to your proposal might be. Stay tuned or give him a buzz 1-800-472-7431.

If you were coming off of the chiller with a ½” line then splitting with a Y- or T-fitting I would completely agree. But since the line coming off of the chiller is also a 3/8” line, all you end up with is (2) 3/8” lines each having a weaker flow than the main and therefore less cooling potential. I would 100% agree with splitting the line if we were working with one of the larger chillers that have the bigger circulation pumps. Then we could stick a PP291 glycol Y into the pump in place of the regular barb and feed both supply’s in the trunk simultaneously. Unfortunately the 60’ unit (3K185) is manufactured with a different pump that makes this almost impossible. If the series connection concerns them, you can always try adjusting the temperature down an extra degree or two and check the temp on the return line to make sure everything is staying cold. Thanks!

What compositions normally do you use for glycol coolants? Does it only contain glycol
@skotkirkpatrick
@skotkirkpatrick 3 года назад
2.5 parts water, 1 part propylene glycol

What is the type of glycol require in beverage chiller ?
@Rapidswholesale
@Rapidswholesale 2 года назад
We suggest propylene glycol like the glycol found here: rapidswholesale.com/glycol-solution-5-gallon.html

How much water do it use
@Rapidswholesale

Hello Haywood D. Water consumption will vary depending on the ratio of glycol to water each manufacturer recommends for each individual unit AND how much solution is required to fill the chiller and pack the glycol lines which vary in length. Hope that helps!
